PrimaryCategory or SecondaryCategory is a value category,
then eBay drops the SecondaryCategory and lists the
item in the PrimaryCategory only.

property
maxGranularFitmentCount
Indicates, for the given category the total number of fine grained item
compatibilities that can be applied to a listing.

When you list with parts compatibility, using only the high-level
compatibility search names, such as Year, Make, and Model, the fitment
applies to the various unspecified lower-level compatiblity search names and
values, such as Trim and Engine, as well. This means that specifying a single
coarsely defined item compatibility may result in multiple fitments applying
to the listing at the lowest level of granularity. Up to 300 (or whatever
maximum is indicated by MaxItemCompatibility) coarse parts compatiblities can
be specified for a given listing.

Alternatively, you can explicitly specify up to 1000 (or whatever maximum is
indicated by MaxGranularFitmentCount) parts compatibilities at the lowest
level of granularity. That is, if you specify your parts compatibilities
using all of the supported compatiblity search names (e.g., Year, Make,
Model, Trim, and Engine), you can specify up to 1000 compatibilities.
